Sensitivity and open-loop control of stochastic response in a noise amplifier flow: the backward-facing step

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo

The two-dimensional backward-facing step flow is a canonical example of noise amplifier flow: global linear stability analysis predicts that it is stable, but perturbations can undergo large amplification in space and time as a result of non-normal effects ...

Digitization Technique for UWB Receiver and Capacitive Sensor Interface

Shenjie Wang

As CMOS processes continue to scale to smaller dimensions, the increased fT of the devices and smaller parasitic capacitance allow formore power efficient and faster digital circuits to be made. But at the same time, output impedance of transistors has gon ...

Frequency up-converting Vibration Energy Harvester with Multiple Impacting Beams for Enhanced Wideband Operation at Low Frequencies

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Andres Felipe Vasquez Quintero, Robert Andrew Lockhart

This work presents an approach for increasing operational bandwidth of a vibration energy harvester in low-frequency environments by effectively exploiting contact-based frequency up-conversion. It was implemented by a couple of low-frequency resonators wi ...

Toward broadband electroacoustic resonators through optimized feedback control strategies

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet

This paper presents a methodology for the design of broadband electroacoustic resonators for low-frequency room equalization. An electroacoustic resonator denotes a loudspeaker used as a membrane resonator, the acoustic impedance of which can be modified t ...

Forced reattachment in separated flows: a variational approach to recirculation length reduction

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo

Sensitivity analysis is used to design an open-loop control for separated flows. The length of the recirculation region

l_c

is expressed as a cost functional, and its sensitivity to actuation is derived analytically. This analysis allows to identify regi ...

Open-loop control of noise amplification in separated boundary layers

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo

Linear optimal gains are computed for the subcritical two-dimensional separated boundary-layer flow past a bump. Very large optimal gain values are found, making it possible for small-amplitude noise to be strongly amplified and to destabilize the flow. Th ...

Learning Robot Gait Stability using Neural Networks as Sensory Feedback Function for Central Pattern Generators

Auke Ijspeert, Sébastien Gay, José Santos-Victor

In this paper we present a framework to learn a model-free feedback controller for locomotion and balance control of a compliant quadruped robot walking on rough terrain. Having designed an open-loop gait encoded in a Central Pattern Generator (CPG), we us ...

Demonstration of sawtooth period locking with power modulation in TCV plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Timothy Goodman, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici

Corroborating evidence is presented that the sawtooth period can follow the modulation frequency of an externally applied high power electron cyclotron wave source. Precise, fast and robust open loop control of the sawtooth period with a continuously chang ...
